Do I have a claim?
Updated: September 16, 2016
If you suffered an injury in the last 3 years and another person was at fault, we can assist you with a compensation claim.
Eligibility to claim
Claimants who have been diagnosed with certain injuries or illnesses such as hand-arm vibration syndrome are often still entitled to claim compensation even where the cause of the illness occurred years ago. In these circumstances, it is the date of knowledge, or diagnosis that is considered.
To win a Baldock personal injury case, it must be proven that:
- You were owed a duty of care by the Defendant
- That duty was breached by the Defendant
- The Defendant's breach caused your injury or illness
Making your claim sooner will enable supporting witness statements to be collected by your solicitor.
